I hadn't heard about this.
I read the article and I'm still not sure I understand?

I read something about it the other day.

I don’t really understand what Beretta’s intentions are. The article I read said Beretta wasn’t happy with how the company has been run. Said it was underperforming.

Why should Beretta care?

Because they think the can make $$$ off of it

True.

We’ve let most of our ammo mfg be bought by a Czech firm. What does it matter if one of our gun mfg becomes foreign owned

Beretta bought a 30% stake in Ruger…
They didn’t on the sly but they bought a large part of the company’s stock…. Stockholders rule

One? Colt is gone to CZ..
Winchester is browning, who is Miroku.
Springfield, they all mixed up geographically speaking.
Begara? Spanish
I think we still have Kel-tec
And a few makers af dang nice sharps rifles

I guess Jefferson and Co. should have written in:

"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be sold overseas"

I read some speculation that Beretta wants to get ahold of the Casting division of Ruger (Pine Tree something or other?) that is really the core of Ruger's business. I would imagine that Beretta owning a casting company that creates parts for almost every gun manufacturer (including- I think- some of Beretta's subsidiaries) would be a HUGE win for them in the supply chain.
